In the recent month, a friend of mine and myself have watched Glee from the very beginning to the recent episodes. In the second season there is an episode called "Grilled Cheesus" this episode shows Fin making a grilled cheese sandwich that has an impression like Jesus' face and he begins to pray to it. Also, Kurt's father has a heart attack which causes almost all members except for Kurt to turn to God in their own way.
I find it very interesting how this episode was portrayed. There was no definite "right" religion and it was actually never stated what religion three of the main girls belonged to. The only religions the audience knows is that two members are Jewish. The glee club is given the assignment to sing a spiritual song (not a religious, but spiritual song) which is stopped by the administration due to the rules of being in a public school.
This episode kinda reminded me how we are not exactly looking at specific religions in class, but more looking at the spiritual nature of the movies. This popular show reminded people that there has to be something you believe in and ended with the song "One of Us" by Joan Osbourne which states "What if God was one of us?" reminding us that there is something bigger than us out there.
